"And I've been thinking, just a little," put in Skid Thomson, "and if I've figured correct, next Thursday's Thanksgiving don't know as I've thought of it in ten years and if we stir round sharp we can get things ready by then, and well, 'twouldn't hurt Beetle Ring to celebrate for once " But Skid was also interrupted by a cheer.
Thursday's bodies were recovered from jams of driftwood that had piled up along the shallow shores of the flood. All of them were badly mutilated and in several cases identification was difficult. The authorities organized a squad of men to cover the entire inundated area in the search of bodies. Up to date fifty-one known dead had been reported.
The little woman looked tired and warm. She was just home from Thursday's wash, and she sat down wearily on one of the wooden chairs. Mike saw it, and, to the boy who would be fourteen the next day, there suddenly came a realizing sense of the stay his mother was to the family.

Thursday's mobile countenance at once became profoundly sad, and he shook his head slowly. "No," said he, "they're all dead but one. John Adams is his name." "Don't remember that name among the nine said to be lost," remarked the Englishman.
Now the four of them will be working all day over Thursday's dinner, and, dear me! it's a simple enough dinner." "Well, you have to serve so much with a dinner, nowadays," Mrs. Carew said, in a mildly martyred tone. "Crackers and everything else with oysters I'm going to have cucumber sandwiches with the soup " "Delicious!" said Mrs. Lloyd. "'Cucumbers, olives, salted nuts, currant jelly'", Mrs.
The morning after last Thursday's attack Major Marling pushed his patrols of the 18th Hussars farther westward than they had been able to get since communications were interrupted.
